Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often before a first rental in Marrakech.
How old do I need to be to rent a car in Marrakech?
Twenty one years old for most of our vehicles, with a licence held for at least one year. Premium categories are reserved for drivers aged twenty five and over.
Is my foreign driving licence accepted?
Yes. A national licence from Europe, the United States, Canada and most countries is accepted for a tourist stay, with no translation or international permit required.
How much is the deposit?
From 3 000 dirhams for a city car to 10 000 dirhams for premium vehicles. It is taken at handover and returned in full when the vehicle comes back in its original condition.
Do you deliver the car to Marrakech Menara airport?
Yes, and it is included in the rate. We meet you at the airport car park at your landing time. Delivery to your riad, hotel or any address in Marrakech is also included.
Is mileage really unlimited?
Yes, across Morocco, with no cap and no per kilometre charge. Only leaving the country requires our prior written authorisation.
Do I have to pay online when booking?
No. You send a request, we confirm availability, then we send you the contract to sign online. Payment is made when the vehicle is handed over.
Can I add a second driver?
Yes, for one hundred dirhams for the whole rental. The additional driver must meet the same age and licence conditions and be named in the contract.
Can I take the car outside Morocco?
Not without our prior written agreement. Leaving the country changes the insurance cover and requires specific documents. Tell us about your plan before booking.
What happens in case of breakdown or accident?
Call us immediately. We arrange recovery and, if the vehicle cannot continue, provide a replacement as quickly as possible. In case of an accident, an official report is mandatory.
How does signing the contract online work?
We send you a link by email or WhatsApp. You open the contract, read it, sign with your finger or mouse and confirm. The signature is timestamped and linked to your IP address. You then receive the signed PDF.
